« Reviews on Painted Platters
Mar 14, 2007
Such a disappointment!
After reading many good reviews about the Painted Platters in Jaynagar, I was delighted to find out there was one right on Lavelle Rd as well - closer to home. Unfortunately, it didn't match up to any of the reviews. The location is rather cozy and the place is well done; however, the desserts are another story. After presenting a tastefully done menu (ours came printed on a CD) with tantalizingly tempting dessets like the "Missisipi Mud Pie", our server broke our chocoholic hearts by telling us there was NOTHING available, except for three things - the hot chocolate fudge sundae, Dark and White Chocolate Sushi, and tiramisu.
We settled for the hot chocolate sundae and the sushi. When the two came, our spirits slighly soared. The presentation was marvellous, especially of the Dark and White Chocolate Sushi, which was dark and white chocolate mousse rolled like a sushi roll in paper-thin hardened chocolate. I dug my spoon in with glee but was left with a mouthful of slightly tart-tasting mousse! Not only was the mousse not fresh, but it was also not stored at a proper temperature. The sundae was a little better, provided you could get past the tart whipped cream (that had fallen flat) and reach the teensy-weensy bit of chocolate icecream underneath.
Dejected with the whole experience, we left Painted Platters hoping this was just a one-off experience and vowing to drive to Jaynagar next time instead!
